Pop Radar Guns

The Pop mode Radar Gun is a single pulse Doppler radar that is a feature of a

K and Ka (Bee III Ka radar gun) band Instant-On radar gun. It uses a single short

time pulse to measure the target vehicle’s speed. Despite the fact that the short,

single pulse makes the unit very sensitive to ofcer hand and vehicle movement

and reduces the range of the gun in Pop mode to 50% of its range in Continuous

Wave mode, this feature is added in an attempt to make the radar gun invisible

to Radar Detectors.

Although your detector can sense Pop signals beyond the effective range

of Pop radar guns, there will be a signal to sense only if a gun is triggered. In

addition, the Pop mode receiver section is more prone to false alerts because of

its extra sensitivity. This is especially so in urban areas. As a result, you should

consider using the Pop Detect mode only in highway and rural situations. Cobra

Electronics has included a user selectable On or Off Pop Detect mode.

Global Position System Locator (GPS Locator)

•

Overview

The GPS Locator unit monitors vehicle location using the GPS satellite system to add

features to your detector. Whenever it is installed and GPS signals are available, it:

n Provides alerts as you approach photo-enforced intersections and locations with

xed red light or speed cameras, as well as known speed traps and areas where

increased caution should be exercised (such as a high-accident intersection).

The built-in location database can be updated at Cobra’s website to stay current

with photo-enforced locations, speed traps and caution areas.

n Allows you to identify and store up to 1,000 User Alert Locations in addition

to those in the database.

n Provides speed and direction of travel information using GPS-based data.

n Allows you to see the position (latitude and longitude) of your vehicle.

n Provides extra information during alerts with IntelliView and IntelliView Pro.
